Oh What A Beautiful Morning

It was indeed a beautiful morning today. The sun was shining and the weather was perfect. Ron and I spent this beautiful day touring the Gilbert Temple. It is such a beautiful building.

 

 

I didn't realize it was cloudy until I looked at the picture. One of the best things about touring the temple today as taking some friends from work. Back in November or December there was a feature on the news about the open house  the upcoming tours. One of my dear friends Sue asked if I would take her to see the temple during the open house. So on December 31st I got reservations for 12 people. Well we ending up only 9, but it was wonderful. As  members of the church we know how beautiful the Temples are. It  was amazing to see it through the eyes of non-members. They were all in awe of the detail and the beauty. It was such a great opportunity to share our beliefs. To walk through the sealing room and talk about getting married for time and all eternity. I was exciting to point out the mirrors on both sides of the alter and talk about the symbolism of marriage without end. I think one of the best things was listening to two of my friends talking to each other. One mentioned that she thought it would be nice to visit the temple, but was amazed at how excited she became when she entered the temple. She mentioned getting a tingly feeling.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to share this beautiful experience with such wonderful friends.
